timeforcake: Kick your bad snoozing habit with the Sleep If You Can app

This brilliant you’ll-love-it-and-you’ll-hate-it alarm clock app for Android will not play the snooze game with you. Instead, when the alarm sounds, your phone displays a photo you previously took of something in your house.

And guess what? You’re in luck, because the alarm won’t turn off until you get out of bed and take another picture of that very same scene or object.

For any Android users out there trying to kick a bad snoozing habit, check out the Sleep If You Can app here: http://tinyurl.com/bahca96
